Read Good Stories
Where Can You Go to Read Good Stories?
You want to read good stories again. Modern, utilitarian books aren’t enough. Moreover, you crave something timeless, something full of truth, goodness and beauty to read on your own or with your students.
In other words, you want to read good stories.
Firstly, you have trouble because you lack time.
Secondly, you lack resources.
Moreover, you don’t know where to find these short stories.
That being said, are you looking for a better stack of good stories that you can read in much less time, but are still packed with meaning?
Are you wanting to enjoy reading again?
Are you longing for the noble ideas that our modern culture has seemingly forgotten?
Why wait to grow in your reading life? Why wait to grow in understanding?

(by the way, who was G.K. Chesterton?)
Why Short Stories?
I’m starting with short stories for these reasons:
- short stories are packed with timeless ideas
- they connect readers with history and people from a different time
- reading short story can increase empathy
- short stories encourage critical thinking
- they take a lot less time to read than full books
Some of the best thinkers wrote short stories. G.K. Chesterton was one of these thinkers.
A renowned essayist, novelist, poet, playwright, short story author, Christian apologist and debater, G.K. Chesterton was arguably the best writer of the 20th century. Writers are thinkers. Given this fact, why wouldn’t you want to learn from one of the greatest?
